Access: Verizon has provided the tablets and data plans, the districts have provided the infrastructure, and Digital Promise has helped with planning and implementation. Today, all students and teachers in these schools have always-available access to digital learning tools.

Participation: With funding and support from Verizon, Digital Promise works with the schools on enhancing the digital literacy of students and teachers, including research skills, using technology to create and publish, and digital responsibility.

Powerful Use: Digital Promise works with coaches and teachers at each of the schools, supporting professional learning designed to help teachers motivate and personalize learning for students and engage them with complex and relevant challenge projects.

Additionally, Digital Promise is working with each school to document the process, resulting in compelling stories of victories and lessons learned and an online guidebook that will help inform others’ journey to close the digital learning gap.
